“Schylar makes me feel heartbroken and elated, humbled and proud, incensed and hugely hopeful – all in the space of a single speech. His willingness to share both his vulnerability and passion demonstrates courage and strength that I can only admire. He’s easily one of the most poignant and effective speakers I’ve ever heard. We are lucky to have him in D.C. fighting for the rights of kids in foster care.” Rachel Tibbetts, Vice President of Operations, The Adoption Exchange

"Schylar provided an overview of the federal law-making process and the status of bills related to the adoption field. His personable, straight-forward, and relatable presentation style conveyed complex information in a way that kept the audience engaged. I heard several of our participants remark about how interesting the presentation was and how grateful they were to now feel well-informed about the inner workings of federal policy that affects their jobs. We are so appreciative to Schylar for sharing such valuable information at our national conference to our member and we look forward to having him back again!
